1937 Chrysler Royal. My son came across this stored at his girlfriend's grandmother's place and am thinking of offering. He says it is immaculate. Any thoughts or any idea what she might be worth? I don't want to insult the guy.

I see three engines listed for that year, but can't distinguish wheich engine was in which model. Since it's a Royal, I am assuming it the engine I mentioned. One of them appeares to be a straight eight. I am pretty sure the straight 8 was used in Imperial and New Yorker Base sell price was around $1,050. Bumpers, radio, heater,skirts, seat covers, outside mirrors, white walls, and spotlight were optional.

According to the book I have. . .It says a total of 14,500 were made on that wheel base. But that number combines all the 2 doors on that wheel base, 4 door sedans and 4 door Convertable Sedans.

After looking at the shape of the side trim on the hood and the shape of the grill, I think that car is more than likely to be a 1938.

Good eye Bill and Stan. I'll check it out more closely. I only went on the info supplied by my son (he wants me to buy it so he can inherit it some day). He also tells me the trunk is as big as our "C" trunks.

... I only went on the info supplied by my son (he wants me to buy it so he can inherit it some day) ...

Curious, maybe this a "Y" generation solution to entering the hobby without getting grease on their hands ... my son has the same aspirations for my Fury. Be interesting actually to give it too him, he thinks major maintenance is topping up the windshield washer reservior. Or better yet, give it too him now as it sits and tell him its like an Ikea car - some assembly required.

That's a beautiful car...love the late 30's early 40's coupes. Oh boy, I really dislike coming up with an offer....You always come in low of course and that's so hard when it's an old woman that doesn't know any better. I'd ask her if she has any idea at all what she wants for it first...I'd go on e-bay and see what something like that has been selling for...Best wishes to you!!
